smashing VS Blazer

That's just one of many issues I had with it, and I don't think it's a minor fix. There hasn't been a single improvement merged in over five years, only minor bug fixes and updates to dependencies, so I don't have much hope in creating issues. There's also a pull request to replace Gridster with CSS flex boxes that's been open for over a year and a half, and I wouldn't want to spend time making the change myself if it's not going to make it into the upstream repository.

If you want something ruby based you could try smashing https://smashing.github.io/, it’s easy to start with and has several cool plugins

There is https://github.com/lissy93/dashy and https://smashing.github.io/ which could be what you are looking for as both are extensible via Widgets so they can consume APIs etc.

New Relic is (IMO) too dry to make a good dashboard. Smashing dashboards ( https://smashing.github.io ) are getting a little long in the tooth, but I still like the overall design , big red/green blocks for individual parts

It's a framework for building dashboards (Smashing). You create the dashboards out of a number of widgets. There's loads of widgets available that people have shared, but a lot of them are focused around software engineering (keeping track of project metrics etc).

Have you thought about Smashing? https://smashing.github.io

Home Assistant, magic mirror stuff, smashing (https://smashing.github.io/) is pretty good...

I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer.

No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures.

As u/jaxn said you could use Blazer for this kind of thing. I would also look into materialized views or custom tables and a scheduled job that calculates the metrics they care about. That will take you a long way. Eventually you can use something like Metabase but I would put that off for as long as possible as it's really expensive and pretty involved.

And it's Open Source: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence

I'd also highly recommend Blazer https://github.com/ankane/blazer if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects.

I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

The Blazer gem provides a nice way to analyze the results easily. It is simple to install and allows SQL queries to run against tables. The query here shows that the candidate implementation is significantly faster than the original.
